rather the prophet said those words when the muslims were under attack from the many tribes around them. it is taken out of context much of time. al munajjid is sitting in a country whose rulers break many of the commandments of Islam-riba is allowed there, they supported the US invasion of Iraq which is a muslim country, etc- everyday and he says nothing, where is he following those words according to his own understanding then, but this is off topic.
we are not required to either love or hate homosexuals, rather not to follow them in that.
I don't like their way of life since I don't agree with what it leads to and other reasons, but is no reason for hate or disrespect etc.
Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
Undoubtedly the Muslim is obliged to hate the enemies of Allaah and disavow himself of them, because this is the way of the Messengers and their followers. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Indeed there has been an excellent example for you in Ibraaheem (Abraham) and those with him, when they said to their people: ‘Verily, we are free from you and whatever you worship besides Allaah, we have rejected you, and there has started between us and you, hostility and hatred for ever until you believe in Allaah Alone”
[al-Mumtahanah 60:4]
“You (O Muhammad) will not find any people who believe in Allaah and the Last Day, making friendship with those who oppose Allaah and His Messenger (Muhammad), even though they were their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their kindred (people). For such He has written Faith in their hearts, and strengthened them with Rooh (proofs, light and true guidance) from Himself”
[al-Mujaadilah 58:22]
Based on this, it is nor permissible for a Muslim to feel any love in his heart towards the enemies of Allaah, who are also in fact his enemies. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“O you who believe! Take not My enemies and your enemies (i.e. disbelievers and polytheists) as friends, showing affection towards them, while they have disbelieved in what has come to you of the truth”
[al-Mumtahanah 60:1]
To hate in our heart doesnt mean you have to or should as i said before curse them or pick up arms against them; however, it is obligatory upon you to abhor them for their disbelief and their denial of the Lord of the worlds and to hate the invalid and untruthful religion that they are practicing. On the other hand, there is no objection for you to treat them with kindness—while disliking them in your heart—and to be amicable towards them so that perhaps Allah will guide them through you.
